Not a fan of black wheels, but the bright rim and center cap make these wheels look good in my view.

Nice, now we don't need the premiere anymore, all we were waiting for were the headlights

Well, I guess taillights too...

W205C43PFL

Looks like wherever they think they can put the star pattern, they would, never thought they would put it there too I guess I should had expected when they put Maybach logos there on the EQS Maybach., first the grille and then the infotainment screen and driver display, now here and of course the high possibility of in the taillights as well.
Management: How many stars should be on the vehicle?
Designer: Yes.

W205C43PFL

Sorry for the confusion, there and here I mean as in the lower bumper part, not the headlights.

Taking a design cue from Louis Vuitton.

I guess...

W205C43PFL

Hmmm is it just me or there is some similarities to the headlights of this vehicle (in this case a 3 series)? https://cdn.bmwblog.com/wp-content/u...3-Series-1.jpg
I guess part of it has to do with same manufacturer? I am talking about the actual curved LED part.

A tad similar since they both have a kink. I actually liked the G20 headlights before the facelifted version, reminded me of the E46’s headlights, and I think these new E lights are to be a bit reminiscent of the old four eyes look back when they had split headlights.

W205C43PFL

Oh yes I can see that

curious why they are returning back to v shaped grille after making such an effort to make most of their models A shaped.

Even in silhouette, this looks like a move-forward kinda of style for MB. I am liking it... slap on the Panamericana AMG grill on this design, and it'll look even more awesome. Can't wait for the full reveal... enough of these teasers already, puleaze.

W205C43PFL

Curious too now that you mentioned it but I think the V shape one is more elegant, the A shape one is too aggressive. Just in my opinion.

js_cls

Agree, I am very much liking the styling, although I am biased since it looks similar to my W223. I think the car looks very sleek and stylish from the spy shots.

This black AMG-Line that was spotted in particular looks quite good.

W205C43PFL

What a side profile!

W205C43PFL

Sorry, I beg to differ I rather have the luxury grille or the star grille it currently has, the panamericana grille is on too many models.

Povitica3

I hear ya... but time moves on... and the US market has spoken loud and clear. They like "sport" over "luxury" at least on mid-exec level models such as the E-class. Just look at the sales and build history between the two styles.

The luxury grill with the hood ornament just says Mercedes. That’s why it is still the facia of choice on the S class. IMHO, it is especially effective on the front of the wagon, when you blend the utility of the wagon shape with the elegance of the traditional grill. It makes for a stand out appearance.

AzurSL

I fully agree. It’s like a nod to the old split headlights. Also agree about the new 3 series. Old headlights were much better, this new one is nearly identical to the new civic…

GLElover

i really hope we get the luxury line or im going to retrofit it

Ugh. Tail lights are hideous. Front end is meh. One of those rare situations where the teasers were better than the actual thing. Disappointing.
